I love Blondie.

I wasn’t sure what “cut-out book” means, so googled this one to see whether it was paper dolls.

Turns out someone has a copy, and they’re selling PDF’s of it with all the pages for $1.50.

Is that legal? It’s from 1943… 78 years ago. Maybe the copyright ran out.

Anyway… yes… it’s paper dolls!

As you can see, they put their branding on the web image… but AFAIK, you can’t really copyright someone else’s work, even if it IS in the public domain….

So here you go. Your chance to see Blondie in her unmentionables.

The first Blondie Strip: September 8, 1930
Betty Boop first appeared as a side character in “Dizzy Dishes” released on August 9, 1930. Max Fleischer was sued by singer Helen Kane for $250,000.00 over her being made into a caricature of herself, and over the use of “Boop Oop a Doop.” She lost.
Penny Singleton who played Blondie in the movie series from 1938 to 1950 went on to voice Jane Jetson.

We were told there would be biscuits?
And what’s with the deaf guy, foreground left, who’s going the wrong way?

I tried to find the original, before Dietz added a modern pin-up girl, but no luck.

Probably a guy, since they didn’t recruit women back then to be paratroopers.

And speaking of finding originals… I meant to post this last night but I fell asleep after I found it.

The real eyes and antennae of a praying mantis look almost as weird as the Photoshopped image from yesterday….

Is this copied after the “Cleo and Company” series of the same name?

Can you sue?

And I suppose Claude said “Confound it, Cleo!” … and then drove on.

Sigh….

I noticed that too…

I forgot to mention those GIANT bowls of food.

But I wasn’t thinking about Cleo…

Of course Clara cooks enough for ten!

I paid 178.9 ¢/litre for gas the other day.
As always it’s coming down a lot more slowly than it went up.
 
For our purposes that would be 813.3 ¢/Imperial Gallon, and 677.2 ¢/U.S. Gallon; which (again using rounding is 508 U.S. ¢/U.S. Gallon
